- I'd do a lot more research on it....if you made a dealer excited, you could probably sell it yourself and save the 30%. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:44 13
  - "Yeah, sorry I could only get thirty bucks for it. Here's your ten!" - Dealer Feb 25, 12:45 12

        but even after they know, that price the expert tells them is usually at auction, which means an auctioneer is gonna take their cut if it does sell - moles Feb 25, 12:56

        who knows. not necessarily. and the higher end the item, the harder it is to sell independently for max value. - TFox Feb 25, 12:58
        
        chances are, if he tells you it is worth $5k, he won't offer you $500. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 12:58 2
        
        He never offered $500. - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:59 1

    - You don't know who locked dad on the balcony. They could have been crazed New Yorkers. -- nm - TWuG Feb 25, 12:42 10
      - In a shocking sweeps twist, Dad is a born and bred New Yorker - ty97 Feb 25, 12:47 5
        
        And he didn't just bust down the door? I don't think he moved out as much as was requested to leave. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:50 3
        
        I need to ask what borough. this may explain it. - loosilu Feb 25, 12:56
